Who is Running Rand Paul?

From time to time, I have raised the question as to who is running Rand Paul?

Although there are leftists such as Rachael Maddow and neocons such as Jennifer Rubin, who do take swipes at him, Rand is treated overall much better than his father ever was. Is there some powerful grand control sponsor of Rand?

I raise this question, again, because of two curious events, which may all be coincidence, or, on the other hand, clues of a grand behind the scenes schemer influencing Rand.

Consider: For the last two weeks, Rand has been in a regular attack mode against Bill Clinton and the relationship he had with Monica Lewinsky. Clinton's affair with Lewinsky occurred 20 years ago! Why is Rand focusing on it now? To some degree this might be viewed as Rand helping out his nephew-in-law Jesse Benton, who is running the Mitch McConnell campaign. Clinton is scheduled to visit Kentucky later this month to campaign for McConnell's Democratic opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes.

Rand could just be muddying the waters for Clinton's visit. But still, it is an odd subject to bring up, so much so that a number of papers have run stories trying to guess why Rand is in Clinton attack mode.

Curiously though, Rand's attacks have anticipated an even bigger story about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. The media is now reporting on how Hillary felt when the Lewinsky story was originally breaking. For example, see:

Out of the blue, Rand Paul two weeks ago starts dredging up Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky and how it relates to Hillary. I mean out of the blue. And, suddenly, as if on cue, discussion this week turns to diary notes left by a deceased friend of Hillary's, who recorded the reaction of Hillary as she learned about Bill's affair with Monica.

It should be further noted that these diary entries have been publicly available since 2010 and have only now become the focus of mainstream media. In other words, it was a timed released---just weeks after Rand first started discussing the topic.

This all may be a big coincidence.

But, if we take the position for a moment that this was not a coincidence and that Rand was being used by a grand schemer to seed the ground for the further focus on Bill Clinton's affair with Monica, and the Hillary connection, then we should look at who first put out the report on the notes that recorded Hillary's reaction. It may provide a very good clue as to the allegiances of the grand schemer. And this is where things get very disturbing, it was a neocon internet rag that first put out the story. WaPo reports:

The latest example of Clinton's past coming back to her arrives via the Free Beacon, a conservative Web site, that has dug through the papers of Diane Blair, a longtime Clinton friend, to paint an at-times unflattering portrait of the at-the-time First Lady.

Again, this may all be coincidence, but I'm leaning toward the FDR take on this one, when he said, "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."

Rove is running Rand and he's going to use him to placate the Tea Party for 2016. Rand is not going to get the nomination. Rand gets no support from minorities. Minorities already think every white person is a racist so they're not going to care about ideological arguments that explain his "principled" opposition to the Civil Rights Act. They'll always see him as a racist hiding behind ideology. Minorities will support a candidate who is going to give them special treatment. Rand is not that candidate. The "free markets lift all boats" stuff does not sell with minorities. They want a pay out. That's why libertarians will never get meaningful support from minorities.

I agree with Jerry that Rand will not get support from minorities. But who will?

Blacks will vote 95% democrat. But Hispanics? It seems like they could vote for a Republican who will not threaten there beneficios federales.

The best thing for the Republican Party to do right now is forget about minorities and appeal to ethnic whites the same way that Democrats pander to black people. Appeal to whites who are tired of paying benefits to blacks and Hispanics and are tired of the elite Washington DC operatives who turn their nose up at flyover country and rural whites. Finally, appeal to whites who are rightfully concerned about immigration.

In other words, the populist strategy that Murray Rothbard outlined two decades ago.

Because there aren't enough white people and they don't vote as a bloc. There are women, oldsters, gays, union guys, Christians etc etc. You look at super states like California and New York, Florida, Texas, they were once solid republican states now Texas is the only consistant one left.

"The best thing for the Republican Party to do right now is forget about minorities and appeal to ethnic whites the same way that Democrats pander to black people.

Yeah, because appealing to nationalist, statist imbeciles is so beneficial to libertarians.Or did you think they were against government when it suits THEM (medicare, medicaid, war, gay marriage, war on drugs, immigration)?

Someone who is not rightfully concerned about the state cannot be "rightfully" concerned about immigration.

Rand Paul's dullard believers can not imagine that Rand is being groomed as a soldier in the Bush Mafioso Crime Family, and that he has to prove his worth by pushing a political button on the Clinton Crime Family. Rand is more than willing to do the political grunt work asked of him to prove he can be a valuable asset as Jeb Bush's vice presidential running mate in 2016. He is more than willing to stab his fathers most fervent anti-war followers in the back to prove "It's not personal Dad, it's strictly business".

Rand Paul and Alex Jones share the same role in the Bush Crime Family, both are soldiers in the Republican effort to keep gullible Tea Party followers on the political reservation. Both of these political Judas Goats are being rewarded handsomely for keeping their completely ignorant followers within the barbed wire confines of conservative Republican thought. The Republican leadership wants good little Stepin Fetchit wannabes among it's rank and file supplicants.

Perhaps the obvious is true. If it looks like a power seeking psychopath, walks like a power seeking psychopath, quacks like a power seeking psychopath then maybe it is just a power seeking psychopath.

Why would anyone care what Rand Paul does? He looks exactly like every other freak of nature running around the statist feed trough looking for an angle that puts him in line. Why the libertarian types spend so much time on this silly bag of gas Rand Paul as opposed to any other is curious.

The MIC runs Rand Paul.duh..And all he's doing now is what any good VP candidate would do. Softening up idiots to vote for progtard Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb Bush..Hillary Versus Bush..............and you'll LIKE it..lol

There will never be another Bush elected president for 50 years. W was that bad. It would be gifting it to hilary if she ran. The republicans need somebody that the factions will go for instead of like Randroid, offering them anything and everything. Patraeus is a much better bet.

Just because there will never be another Bush elected president, doesn't mean Jeb and Rand won't believe there will be, so it could still explain a Rand Paul decision to cozy up to the Bushes.

Think about it: If Bush W. was that bad and the American people will not elect another Bush for 50 years, then it becomes even MORE baffling why Rand would suck up to one; as there is neither an "ideological" reason for it (if he likes liberty) nor a strategic one (unless he is DELUDED).
